I also think dwelling on the 1833 storm worth more space... clearly  
it affected many people and therefore it lent an impetus to the study  
as something not just awe inspiring. But it was awe inspiring. Slave  
owners thought it was the end of the world and Lakota Indians can  
synchronize their oral histories based on that event they all have in  
common. This goes way beyond simply being noteworthy. This is on par  
with the Bayeux Tapestry showing Halley's Comet.
